SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Boat-in access is the defining logistical fact at Miller Creek, a basic campground within camping destinations around Lewis And Clark Recreation Area on the Nebraska side of Lewis and Clark Lake. Campers arriving by road should know that the dirt section west of Miller Creek becomes rough and muddy after rain, making small rigs or tents the practical choice. Sites include a picnic table, fire ring, pit toilet, drinking water, and trash service. Daily camping runs $15, plus a $6 vehicle entry permit. Archery hunting only is permitted on-site, and firewood should be sourced locally due to Emerald Ash Borer restrictions. The campground suits anglers, paddlers, and birders who want direct water access and minimal facilities.

This campground is open and nicely shaded. Very quiet and secluded. Several mature trees surrounds the camp. The campground is very well maintained. If you want to get back to the basics this is your camp. Great for birding, kayaking, fishing or just kicking back.

This campground is sitting on the second largest lake, Lewis & Clark which runs along the border of Nebraska and South Dakota. The lake is about 16 miles long and up to 3 miles wide. It has a maximum depth of 45 feet.

If you are planning a visit to Miller Creek you need to have a small rig or tent. If you come by way of Springfield, South Dakota or Neobrara, Nebraska on Highway 12 then Highway 12 from the west of Miller Creek the road becomes dirt. If it has rained the dirt will turn to a nasty mud. The road is also very potted and rough.

A bonus for visiting Miller Creek is the joy of feasting your eyes on the natural beauty of what makes Nebraska great. The rolling farm land and friendly locals that wave as you pass by. Whether fishing, birding, hiking, boating, or fishing is your passion a country campground in Nebraska can help sooth your soul.

Firewood Alert: Please purchase firewood in the local area. Do not transport from another state, if you do please burn immediately due to the Emerald Ash Borer. Proper permits/Licenses and park entry passes may be purchased in advance online at http://ngpc-home.ne.gov/
